Single Stage Installation
In a single stage installation, there are no additional PN5212 / PN5320 stations
daisy chained down from the first unit. To set up a single stage installation,
refer to the installation diagram on the next page (the numbers in the diagram
correspond to the numbered steps), and do the following:
1. Use a grounding wire to ground the PN5212 / PN5320 by connecting one
end of the wire to its grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a
suitable grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from surges or static electricity.
2. For each device you want to connect, use its power cable to connect from
the device's AC socket to any available outlet on the PN5212 / PN5320.
3. Plug the cable that connects the PN5212 / PN5320 to the LAN into the
PN5212 / PN5320's LAN port.
4. (Optional) If you wish to use a console terminal connection, use Cat 5e
cable to connect the PN5212 / PN5320’s PON IN/Console port to the
SA0151 (DTE) adapter supplied with your package. Connect the adapter’s
serial connector to the COM port of the computer you will use for the
console terminal.
5. Connect the PN5212 / PN5320's power cord to an AC power source.
Note: 1. We strongly advise that you do not plug the PN5212 / PN5320
into a multi socket extension cord, since it may not receive
enough amperage to operate correctly.
2. Circuit breakers are not provided on the PN5212. Therefore, it is
not recommended to plug the unit directly into any unprotected
power source, such as a wall outlet. See
Package Contents ,
page v.
Once you have finished these installation steps, you can turn on the PN5212 /
PN5320 and the connected devices.
Note: We strongly recommend using cable ties and cable bars to safely and
securely route the cables attached to the back of the unit.
